JOPERD is a peer-reviewed, four-color, professional journal. JOPERD serves as an authoritative, professional source for educators in physical education, sport, recreation, and dance in all settings. The Forum Editor’s pick from the current issue: FOSTERING RESILIENT LEARNERS BY IMPLEMENTING TRAUMA-INFORMED AND SOCIALLY JUST PRACTICES by Jennifer L. Walton-Fisette.

Instilling in school children the importance of healthy lifestyles is one of the primary goals of physical education. Sarah Benes and Holly Alperin present a skills-based approach to health education in The Essentials of Teaching Health Education: Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment (Human Kinetics). Erwin Apitzsch found their book well-conceived and useful.
